Three Benefits of Learning How To ConcentrateWe all know that being able to concentrate on a given task is, in most cases, a necessary part of completing it. Without focus our mind wanders, and the body soon follows – to the kitchen for a drink or snack, to the den to check on the kids, outside for a breath of fresh air... the list of distractions is endless, especially for people who work at home. Without the ability to focus our minds, we just don't get anything done. And it's easy to see why!North American society has instilled the ‘quick fix' mentality into us since we were children. Sound bites, video clips, and headlines all play their part in making sure our focus is dragged from one thing to the next at breakneck speed. Is it really any wonder that so many children and adults suffer from things like Attention Deficit Disorders? Our minds have spent a lifetime being programmed to be attention deficient. (Note: I am fully aware that ADD and ADHD are serious illnesses and I am not trying to make light of that here. What I am trying to point out is that our society as it exists today gives these disorders an environment in which they can flourish.) From a purely practical standpoint then, the first benefit of learning how to concentrate is that it allows us to complete the tasks which we set out to do. By learning how to focus our mind on controlling our body we can keep our butt in the chair long enough to get the job done. Mental concentration is also a key component in our ability to create the life we desire. It is beyond the scope of this article to go into too much detail other than to say that "Thoughts are Things" and they have an energy all their own. What we focus on is what we attract into our lives, and we are continually making choices and acting based on the mental images that form in our minds. If we don't (or don't know how to) concentrate on the thoughts we allow into our mind, we run the risk of creating things and circumstances we would really rather not have in our lives. Without concentration, our lives become little more than an existence which is ruled by the subconscious. Consider this... If you allow yourself to focus on negative images you unconsciously build a negative disposition. You will think of poverty, weakness, disease, fear, etc. and as surely as you think of these will your objective life express itself in a like way. What we think, we will manifest in the external world. Wouldn't your life be better if you could train yourself to consciously focus only on health, wealth and happiness? The third benefit of learning how to concentrate is that it enhances our creativity on a higher and more spiritual level. In deep concentration you become linked with the great creative spirit of the universe, and the creative energy then flows through you, vitalizing your creations into form. In deep concentration your mind becomes attuned with the infinite, and registers the cosmic intelligence and receives its messages. You become so full of the cosmic energy that you are literally flooded with divine power. Once you achieve this desired state, you will realize the advantages of being connected with the supra-consciousness. When you become connected to your supra-consciousness, you become the controller of your human thoughts. That which comes to you is higher than human thoughts and is often spoken of as Cosmic Consciousness. Once experienced, it is never forgotten. The benefits of learning how to concentrate cross all the boundaries between our physical, mental and spiritual selves. Naturally, it requires training to reach this state, but once you do, it becomes easier each time. By learning how to concentrate consciously, you are able to direct the expression of almost infinite power while in this deeper state of concentration, and use it to create exactly what you want in life.
